Martin defeated Ohio State's 19th-ranked Lance Palmer with a second-period pin in UTC's 28-13 victory at No. 14 Ohio State. His 149-pound match was the first one of the dual and gave the Mocs an early 6-0 lead over the Buckeyes.
Martin, a senior from Pataskala, Ohio, moved from 18th to 14th in the individual national rankings. His match was the only one in the dual which featured ranked competitors facing each other.
Martin's win allowed him to remain undefeated in five dual matches and improve his overall record to 13-4.
He is the second UTC wrestler to earn the SoCon's weekly honor in the last three weeks. Senior Matt Keller was awarded the honor Dec. 6.
The Mocs are back in action Dec. 29 and 30 at the Southern Scuffle in Greensboro, N.C.
